Idk why so determined to prove that Hizumi’s project is crap based on the encore, did he hurt you or something? Lol.

I honestly don’t even have words for this one. It hurts bad.

Beat me to it. Osaka Zeal Link will close on August 6. Before then, they'll have a closing sale where items are 50-90% off starting on August 1.
 
This is insanity...

Koichi: it’s been a long time coming.

Yeah Koichi’s really improved a lot over the last year tbh. He’s not perfect but he’s trying hard and it shows. 

I mean I guess realistically some incentives for instores like 2shots can be done at venues, but the talks

Is it weird that I like this Ryoga/Tsurugi "duet chorus" more than Keisuke/Ray in Dusky Vision?
 
PS: Tsurugi's movement aesthetics  got me replaying the chorus just for his bits. 👌👌👌

Bad year for vkei shops, and ouch, this one really hurts

Shibuya ZEAL LINK will close on June 30...  
 
 

I predict a delay so they sell as many physical copies as they can with the initial hype, and then when sales slow we get it on Spotify. 

Mejibray

I mean I’m a huge fan of Mejibray, and at the beginning, even though I went to a couple of 8P lives, I was massively conflicted about it. Then (in my opinion) the quality of the music began to improve and it became apparently that they were expressing what was basically an apology to the fans that they hurt in the process of breaking away - which yes, they didn’t need to apologize, I get that a lot when I bring it up, “they don’t need to apologize for being true to themselves”. But I was there for the last two tours, and it was rough. People were sobbing, everyone was screaming for encores that didn’t come, the tour final was ROUGH, and Koichi basically plugged 8P-SB at the end of Mejibray’s last live on his birthday. Even if they didn’t have to, it was really nice to hear those hurt feelings acknowledged. 
 
I went on on a tangent, sorry, LOL. I will never not miss Mejibray, but I feel like the quality of 8P-SB is improving. I went to their tour more recently and Koichi is definitely a lot more comfortable, both are happy, and Genki utilizes his voice in more interesting ways live than he does on the recorded singles. There’s not as much screaming, but it’s still there and in interesting ways. I think I lost my train of thought, but yeah, it’s really not as bad as people think, it’s getting better, but it is radically different.

Did you go to yesterday's live? seems like people had a good time. (ngl I have been searching for live reports lol)
 
Never had the chance to go to one of their lives but from the super short clips they put up, it does seem like they are sounding better live than last year.
 
And ready player is really quite an improvement from superstar imo.

I mean even if sales are falling, in a country where schools still utilize fax machines I have a hard time imagining the death of CDs any time soon.
